Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris says goodbye.....

This was truly an awesome memorial, a memorial fit for a king. The performances were all great, and the speeches to Michael were all very popular in my opinion. But Michael's daughter, Paris' part was definitely the clincher for me.

My favorite performance had to be John Mayer's. I loved how he just played the guitar instead of singing the song. It was truly a powerful gesture in my opinion.

Better On The Other Side: The Game, Mario Winans, Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Usher & Boyz II Men


Here's a new track for you guys. And this track is definitely one that we all really need right now. We need to celebrate this man's life, and this is definitely a perfect way to do it. Some of music's greats have come together to collaborate on a track dedicated to music's great, Michael Jackson.

I am still extremely devastated over this. A part of me still hasn't accepted the fact that MJ is gone. I feel that a part of my childhood has died with him, my heart is truly broken. Michael Jacksons don't come every generation, Michael Jackson only comes "once," and I'm happy to have witnessed his magic.

His music is timeless, and it will continue to be heard for many more years.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson: The King Of Pop



When we think of some of the chart-topping artists of today, we think of Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, Usher, etc. but when we analyze each of these artists' music, when we see its core and essence, we see Michael Jackson, "The King Of Pop", an inspiration to many of our artists today.

Today is truly a sad day. Music has lost a great. Michael Jackson has been reported to have died at the age of 50. Reports are saying that Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest Thursday afternoon. When paramedics arrived in his home, he was said to have no pulse, and the paramedics weren't able to get the pulse back.

Once they arrived at the hospital, the staff attempted to resucitate him, but were not successful.

Music legend Madonna has released this statement:

"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."




At the time of his death, Michael was rehearsing for what was said to be his biggest comeback ever. He was scheduled for 50 shows at London Arena, which was set to begin on July 13th.

Jackson ranked alongside some of the biggest names in music, Elvis Pressley, and The Beatles. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and his album, "Thriller" is still the best-selling album of all time. To this day, we still hear songs like "Billie Jean", "Beat It", and "Thriller" playing on our radios.

Michael Jackson is without a doubt the greatest entertainer of all time. He showed the world that it was possible for a man to "moonwalk", and his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and high pitched singing defined a generation, my generation.

Quincy Jones released this statement:

"I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80's. To this day, the music we created together on "Off The Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever."

People often do not realize the effects of music on our lives. With a single song, a sad day can be turned around, it can inspire us, and a single song can lift us up, make us smile, and help us remember the days when we were happiest.

This was Michael Jackson's effect on the world. Jackson tore down walls that separated our nations, he united people of different races, and for a moment in the world's history, we sang in one voice.

People often ask me if I believed he had what it took to pull off a comeback, and I always replied, "without a doubt." Michael Jackson defined my childhood, and because of this, my heart is broken, and even wish that all this were untrue.

I remember listening to his music over and over, and watching his videos, I couldn't get enough. I even bought "Moonwalker" on DVD just a few years back.. To this day, I still listen to his music with my "King Of Pop" playlist on my iPod. Michael Jackson will always be an artist that I hold dear to my heart, and I think many can say the same. He has definitely shaped the man I've become, he is definitely the basis of my song selections today. To me, Michael Jackson will always be "The King Of Pop", as he has always been. I will always remember him and be grateful for what he gave my childhood, to all of us, his music, which will live on forever.

For those who witnessed his art, witnessed magic.

Michael Jackson has been the center of criticism in our media these past few years, but today, I believe that the whole world is in mourning, and for the last time, he's uniting the world.

Headphones Inspired From Our Music.....

Nokia had recently asked for Bluetooth headphones whose designs were inspired from some of the most recognizable songs of today!

Songs that ranged from Daft Punk, to R&B's R. Kelly, and to the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.

Here's what they came up with:



Inspired by Daft Punk's "Robot Rock"


Inspired by R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly"



Inspired by Michael Jackson's Free Willy Theme, "Will You Be There"


Now all of these look amazing if you ask me. I think that it's definitely a nice concept, and very original. But if I had to choose a favorite among the three, I would have to go with the Daft Punk inspiration. I myself am a fan of tech that look very futuristic, and those Daft Punk headphones are about as futuristic as you can get! Hahahaha! But don't get me wrong, I also think that the Michael Jackson inspirations look very cool and trendy! I think these headphones will be very popular with the younger demographic. My question is, how's the sound quality on these?

" The Gloved One " Returns....


"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

According to The U.K.'s Sun, Michael Jackson has been making arrangements to go on a 30-city tour in 2009.

Here are some highlights from the article:

Michael said he wasn’t doing a Vegas residency but was going on a world tour, taking in 30 cities next year. He said he wanted to do it for his kids. He wants them to see what he does, and he wants to take them on the road. He said he was on his way to Los Angeles to finalise the details.

And that's not all The King of Pop is working on right now. Sources are also saying that Jackson is also hard at work on his new album at The Palms Casino Resort in Vegas. According to sources, this rumor is very true, and I can't wait!

Here's a quick reaction vid from some celebrities:


So does this mean that Michael's big comeback is just over the horizon? I definitely hope so. I know that the media literally tears him apart, but no matter what is said about Michael, nobody can deny the genius in his music. I am very excited to see what he has in stores for everyone. Rumor has it that he's working huge names such as Ne-Yo, Kanye West, and Will. I.Am. Awesome.
